Baked Sweet Potato Slices with Rosemary are so incredibly easy to make. With a touch of honey, this pretty, vegan side dish pairs with just about everything, during any season.

Sometimes just a few simple ingredients equal a tremendous amount of flavor and deliciousness!
How to Bake Sweet Potato Slices
- Wash, dry and slice the sweet potatoes.
- Spread them out on a sheet pan with olive oil.
- Brush them with a mixture of honey and rosemary and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake them in a 375°F oven for about twenty minutes and then sprinkle with a bit more salt and a little pepper to taste.
(More detailed instructions are below.)
What to Serve them With

- Served with a salad, they can make the meal hearty and so satisfying.

- Skillet Chicken Thighs with Apricots and Olives
- Grilled Pepper Jack Turkey Burgers
- Smoky Paprika-Bacon Roasted Turkey
Recipe Tips and Substitutions
- Try to choose sweet potatoes that are equal in size, so that once they’re cut, the slices cook evenly.
- If you’re not a rosemary fan, thyme and oregano can be lovely too.
- If you don’t have honey, mix the rosemary with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to brush on top of the sweet potato slices, and then sprinkle them lightly with about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
Can you make Baked Sweet Potato Slices ahead?
Yes, you can make them up to one day ahead, keeping them in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. Reheat them in a 350°F oven or in the microwave. Either way, only long enough for them to get hot.
(They will still be safe to eat for up to at least five days in the refrigerator — they’re just more presentable after one.)
How long do sweet potatoes last?
You can leave raw sweet potatoes out, in a cool dark place (like the pantry), for up to about three weeks. They can be stored in the refrigerator for about six weeks.
Can you Freeze Sweet Potatoes?
- Yes. Cooked sweet potatoes, wrapped tightly, can be frozen for about a few months. (Some say up to a year — but they will taste better sooner.)
- Do not freeze them raw unless you first peel and blanch them. To do this, place the peeled potatoes in boiling water for just a couple of minutes, then “shock” them in ice water until they’re cool. Wrapped tightly, they can be frozen this way for about six months.
I hope you love this awesome Baked Sweet Potato Slices side dish as much as my family and I do!

Baked Sweet Potato Slices with Rosemary
Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 medium-large), washed and dried
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, washed and dried, finely chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the pan. Preheat the oven to 375°F and adjust a rack to the center. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat all of it with about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes. Slice the sweet potatoes into rounds that are approximately ¼ to ½ inch thick. Place them in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Use a pastry brush or your finger to rub the remaining olive oil on the top surface of the slices.
- Make and add the honey-rosemary mixture. In a small bowl, combine the honey and rosemary and then warm it in the microwave just long enough to thin it, about 8 seconds. Brush an even amount of this on top of the sweet potato slices and sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Bake. Place the sheet pan in the preheated 375°F oven and bake until the sweet potato slices are very tender, about 20 minutes. (You can check them with a fork.)
- Adjust seasonings and serve. Taste one of the slices and then sprinkle a bit more salt and little pepper to taste. (Here’s How to Season to Taste.)

OMG, this should be shared everywhere! So much better than that sweet potato thing people make with marshmallows! Looks fabulous and so simple, Valentina! Love it!
valentina says
Thank you so much, Christina! Happy you like them and yes, sweet potatoes are always better sans marshmallows. 🙂 ~Valentina
David Scott Allen says
This is exactly how I conned Mark into liking sweet potatoes – he hates it when they are sweet (as described above by Christina) and, in fact, calls those sweet potato dishes “crimes against nature.” This is one we will make – he might not even notice the honey! 🙂
valentina says
Ha! The honey just adds a little sweetness — you can totally get away without it, especially with an especially sweet sweet potato. Enjoy and hope you and Mark have a great weekend. Stay cool!!! :- ~Valentina
David ! says
Funny that you should repost this right now. I’m actually making these for Thanksgiving! I made them last winter once, and the thing I like most about the recipe is how easy it is. Happy Thanksgiving

This makes me happy! Thank you, David. Yes, it’s an easy delicious one. 🙂 ~Valentina
Eha Carr says
Cook with sweet potatoes every week. Rosemary along with basil and thyme is one of my favourite herbs. Going by the size of my rosemary bushes in my potted herb garden, it also seems to be in love with me 😉 ! Beautiful simple recipe which makes my heart sing . . .
valentina says
Thank you! Those are my three favorites too! And rosemary is one of the few things that’s always growing like crazy in my yard. Love it and happy to hear you do too. Enjoy Eha, and have a lovely weekend. 🙂 ~Valentina
